From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Gavin Kaysen, award-winning chef and author, explained to EatDrinkBetter.com, a blog concerned about the environment and food choices, that the key to creating flavorful vegetarian dishes is to "keep it simple and think of the main vegetable and the ‘protein' then work your way around it from there, the results will be more than satisfying".
Jeremy Fox, best known as the two Michelin star vegetarian chef formerly of Ubuntu, vegetarian restaurant in Napa, also looks at vegetables like meat, "I like to roast larger cuts of vegetables and butcher them afterward," Fox continued to Sunset, a lifestyle magazine and site, "you serve meat on the bone. Why not serve vegetables in their skins?"
